Sea Walls

I downloaded Jeronji's sea walls and they work great, but the problem is that some land goes through the wall. Is there any way I can change the beach so that the wall will work like it should?

I also downloaded RTK3, but I can't use it, I can't find the icons for it. Are there dependendy files for the plugin?

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

For the RTK3 question, I would suggest that it does not fall under the landmarks menu. Try Parks and recreation, or Seaports, where some sea wall BAT'ers tend to assign this category.

For the sea walls, the transition from land to sea might be nearly level.

The RTK3 icons are located in Seaports.  As far as the sea walls, the land that you plop the wall on has got to be level and the drop to the seaside should be fairly steep to get the best appearance.  Sometimes you'll have to raise/lower the terrain to get the desired effect.

Towards your seawall... it sounds like your coast is very flat... but I would need to see a photo. PM tungston ... he would know your answer (probably).

Hi, for the RTK3, if it still does not appear in the menu, I suggest you re-download the files again and place it in the plugin. For the seawall which you said it intersects with the land, like what Micah says, we need a picture of it to get a clearer picture. But if you want to use seawall properly, I suggest you use PEG leveler to make the coast flatten. This will ensure the seawall will be place properly( probably the sewall will not intersect will the land)9.gif

About the problem with the land showing across my seawalls, I copy here a small part of the included readme file 2.gif :
1. You will need to terraform your banks to use this set. The bank must be fully orthogonal, or diagonal (or both with variations)
2. The bank height must be constant during all the bank stretch that will builded up.
3. Try to plop 1x1 orthogonal piece.If the ground becomes visible through the embankment slope, increase height difference between the bank and the bottom.

in your case, your terrain is too flat. Increase the land height or decrease the sea height. You can use the Mayor mode level tool to do this. $%&^!+1 to 8 for smaller radius.
 
I hope this helps with this part of the problem. 9.gif (the other part has been answered already)
